Hi Rick:

Couple of questions/requests:

1. Could you post a screen capture of how a typical "organized" plugin directory would appear?

2. Is there any way for the organizer script [assuming the Smustard (or any other scripts) were properly annotated] to display the revision number? And, if not the Organizer script, perhaps another similar script,ie., an "About.rb" script, to detect the rev levels?

3. Would there be a method for the users to control the order of scripts within a folders (short of renaming them) or is this still controlled by SU as it loads the scripts into memory?

Regards, John

Unless I misunderstand how to use the "Flightpath" script, is there script that can accomplish the attached?

http://www.sketchucation.com/forums/scf/sas/Ruby/PivotCamerExample.jpg

I believe so. I believe it can be opened with a standard editor.

If I can get a sample file of data points, I will post it here.

I'll have to wait until person who creates specific KMLs returns from vacation in 2 weeks.

The folks I am working with are developing a new application which can take data points and GIS info and create KML files which are automatically loaded into and viewed in Google Earth.

Assuming the KML file wouldn't be too detailed (large), could a script be developed which could load info from the KML(at least single points and line art such a pipe centerlines) directly into SU6?

With the type of work I do, I almost always want a construction point when drawing a circle (for aligning pipe centerlines, etc., during later stages of developing an illustration).

Is there a way to do this automatically. when using SU's Circle tool so that a separate custom tool wouldn't have to be developed?

If not, then a custom tool would be the next best choice (with perhaps an option in the dialog to choose a layer to assign all the "circle-center points" to during that drawing session)?

Well I wasn't totally delusional. I found a List Shorts in the Help Menu for my SU5.

It was placed there via a rubyscript which works in SU6 too.

Now is there a ruby guru that could add a print list function to this?

ShortcutsList.rb

Hey Rossie:

Hope all is going well for you ... has the "Big Chill" set in yet?

I know about the export function. I did do that already; however, I know that somethings didn't come across properly. That's why I wanted a summary so I could spot any missing or misasigned stuff.

Running SU6.

I would have sworn in the Window > Preference > Shortcuts dialog there was an option to display and print a list of the active shortcuts.

Or was this done via a ruby script?

Anyone know?

I'm installing SU6 on a new laptop and wanted to audit a summary of the shortcuts.

Thanks, I think I see how it works now.

Since I can't find the movie tutorials anymore nor am able to find an answer in the online help, perhaps someone here may have an answer.

I did a photomatch model. Later, in another version of the model, I imported some components and then I realized that I had scaled the photomatch grid inaccurately. What I would like to be able to do is go back to 1st version and rescale the whole thing; however, the imported photo doesn't scale with the contructed model.

Any solution?

Ok Rick, I think this has come up before, but not sure.

Is there now a way in SU6 to "resize" the SU application to match the current aspect ratio ???

Currently, when I install a ruby, I manually edit and add the .rb filename, creator, and sometimes revision level to the menu display. It works, but chews up space.

Would it be possible to create a ruby which, when loaded when SU starts up, would automatically display the .rb filename of any script subsequently run in the task bar for example (or somewhere on the screen) and, if possible the creator's name and rev level? I assume there would have to be some type of global variable established for creator's name and rev level and values for those variables added to each .rb file.

This info is helpful when trying to figure out if you have the most current rev loaded or if you have question about a script and want to address it to the creator here in this or another forum.

Thank you very much, Didier

Hey Todd

Good one! Very useful.

Thanks, John

This method usually produces consistant triangulation when the countor tool is used.

Done (yesterday afternoon).

Hi All:

Coen and Gaieus, I am very impressed with the new format; accessing personal info (profiles, etc.) seems so much more intuitive. It is such a relief to have to an organized (as well as a visually pleasing) forum in which to communicate .... I am so putout by so many of the other user group forums which are so hard to follow.

I haven't had a chance to fully explore the forum options. Will it or does it have the ability to display a "Tree-ed" structure?

Regards.

Add the location description to the dialog.
